  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the research view.
  • 3Tell Notis to extract article data for the article URLs associated with the new view and summarize authors, dates, and images.
  • 4Pick the Airtable View Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real view creation and article URL.

Questions about this workflow

Does creating a view provide article URLs?

The event confirms a view was created. It does not guarantee that article URLs are included, so specify where Notis should find or receive those URLs.

What article details can Diffbot return?
